Warning: MP development mode updates

[IV/JG7_4Shades]

Hi everyone,

For those of you that use the MPAutoUpdater tool - please stop until further notice!

I am now consolidating MP changes to the CVS tree. These changes are for the next SEOW release and are dependent upon a new "SEDB34A" database structure which is not completed yet.
Do not use MPAutoUpdater until further notice!

Cheers,

Is this still up todate?

[IV/JG7_4Shades]

Oops I had forgotten about this thread. The MPAutoUpdater is OK to use now that SEDB60 is released.

However it must be used with the following understandings:

1. The MPAutoUpdater provides updates from the MP source code development version (the very latest version I have), rather than the latest recommended stable release.

2. From tie to time the development updates will contain new and untested code and features, and may also rely on DB and DCS patches.

3. If you regularly use MPAUtoUpdater, you should also ensure that you regularly apply any fixes/patches released for DB and DCS either at the Downloads site or as discussed in these forums.

The MP development tree has now been updated to support 5 new maps (Borneo, Palau, Palembang, Santa Cruz and Western Carolines).

Do NOT update your MP until you get DB support for these sectors!!!!

Hi Eric,

SQL files are for updating your databases.

For MP updates, you need to use the MP-AutoUpdater (in the "seow" folder on the download page). Alternatively, you can wait for the next public MP release in the next couple of months.

any news about sql updates for new maps?

i'd like to use new MP in our Stalingrad Winter campaign

thx

gec

[IV/JG7_4Shades]

Hi gec,

Just take a copy of your current MP, and then update to make a new version. You may find one or two minor DB inconsistencies in the new version, but these can be worked through.

There is no chance of a full new public MP version until October at least.

Thx m8. I did. But it give's me error cause some maps are missing from the bd. Can we fool it somehow?

[IV/JG7_4Shades]

Yes, I think you need to add records for the missing maps in Sector_Seasons table. That may be enough.

Cheers,

Editing Sector_Seasons did not help so i removed entries form MP-Admin.php (from $map=array() section, and on two places in default-sepia.php

for now it works

[gec100]

just an info that inserting dummy values to Sector_Seasons and Sector_Climate in the Reference DB fixes the problem.

that is if in the meantime we did not get real values

here is the code for the dummy inserts if anyone needs it:

Code: Select all

this data is not correct and needs to be replaced with real data one is available. It's purpose is soley to fix the php errors you get with the MP 6.0.72

WARNING WARNING WARNING


MP and DCS are now being updated for SEOW7. This means that new versions of these applications WILL NOT WORK with existing SEOW installs, primarily because the new applications will expect to see new data structures inside the SEDB.

If you are running campaigns using SEOW6, do not update your MP!!!!

Cheers,
4S

[IV/JG7_4Shades]

All active SEOW code bases at sourceforge are now for SEOW v7. SEOW HQ campaigns will be migrated to the new version.

[IV/JG7_4Shades]

Hi everyone,

I am about to update the MP codebase at Sourceforge in preparation for a new SEOW release (involving new DB, MP and DCS). This release will have one or two new maps plus a brand new feature: signallers.

People who are running SEOW campaigns now should avoid using the MPAutoUpdater until they are ready to migrate to the new SEOW version.

Cheers,
4S
